Rolf's Bow (ヨファの弓 Yofa no yumi) is a special Bow that appears exclusively in the Tellius Series of Fire Emblem. While the bow is locked to the titular Rolf as a personal weapon in Path of Radiance, its Radiant Dawn iteration sees said lock being removed, permitting any bow user possessing at least a C rank in Bow mastery to equip it.

In Path of Radiance, this bow allows Rolf to gain Weapon Experience much faster than if he were to employ Iron Bows. It is especially crucial for Rolf to exploit this fact, as he starts out with a measly E rank in Bow mastery, and the raising of said mastery can prove to be exceedingly tedious. Also, while Rolf's Bow offers the Weapon Experience that a typical Steel-grade weapon awards its wielder and greater accuracy, it also comes at a cost of a Might.

According to a Base Conversation shared between Rolf and his tutor Shinon in Chapter 7 of Radiant Dawn, it is revealed that Shinon not just imparted the skill of wielding the bow as a weapon to Rolf, but also taught him the art of bow crafting. This hints very strongly at the fact that Rolf's Bow is the by-product of the tutelage that Rolf has received under Shinon's guidance.
